The Training Delivery Manager was identified as the senior user. However, before the project begins, this manager goes on long-term sick leave. The executive says that they do not need to replace the role of senior user on the project board.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'defined roles and responsibilities' principle, and why?
No, because trainers need to be represented on the project board to ensure the outcomes meet the trainers' needs. It is critical for a project board to have all key stakeholders represented to ensure that the project's outcomes align with the needs and expectations of each group. The senior user role is essential to represent the end users' perspectives and ensure that the final deliverables suit their requirements. Without this representation, the project risks failing to meet its objectives effectively.
C is correct and the link provided doesn't specify if 2of3 stakeholders are enough to run Project Board.
It's def not B, bcs of the below excerpt "Therefore, all three stakeholder interests need to be represented effectively in the project management team; two out of three is not enough. If the project costs outweigh the benefits, the project will be seen as a failure. Equally, if the outcome of the project does not meet the users’ or operational needs, or cannot feasibly be delivered by the suppliers, failure is inevitable. The stakeholder interests are represented on the project board (see section 7.2.1.1)."
C is correct, as as per "Defined roles and responsibilities" the 3 roles are essential. If the executive is taking the role, then we can think about B.
If executive would take on role of senior user, that would be ok but still all 3 groups of stakeholders need to be represented in Project Board, therefore C is correct.
Correct Answer is C
C. No, because trainers need to be represented on the project board to ensure the outcomes meet the trainers' needs
